Sometimes I feel as if I’m slipping further and further into the confused and scattered vortex. The confused and scattered vortex is a place where everyone does lots of things and looks really busy, but in reality, very little is actually getting done. You know, where everyone's a bunch of multi-taskers who have convinced themselves that they are somehow more productive, the more shit they jam into their daily schedules. It's hard to avoid the vortex. At first it seems like the right thing to do. The way to get ahead is to outwork the other guy- work circles around the rest of the monkeys. Hurry up and get your diploma. So you can hurry up and get a job. So you can hurry up and outwork your coworkers. So you can hurry up and find a cozy spot in the graveyard. Where's the fucking fire?! Maybe we need to slow down, dig in our heels, and refuse to do 16 things a day in the superficial and half-assed way. Maybe the world wouldn’t be such a fucking miserable place if people would just slow the hell down and actually concentrate on what they're doing. I have a feeling that the douche bags who run the show sit around and accomplish tasks at their leisure, one thing at a time, don't let themselves get distracted. Yet they've got the rest of us convinced they were supposed around like chickens with our heads cut off. Well, don't listen to them. Stay away from the confused and scattered vortex. Go your own pace: slow and steady wins the race.
